Woman at Large
PETER CHEYNEY’S "Julia," whose "Adventures" are at present being broadcast from 3YA, is a most remarkable woman, and I intend to hear her through to the end. She ‘appears to be one of the few heroines who are consistently "unscrupulous, and who. get away with it. She keeps on the right side of the law, not through any respect for its commands, but simply because she finds it pays her better. Of course she is very beautiful or she wouldn’t get away with half of it. I listened to the first broadcast of her adventures -no understatement, that-in frank amazement as each twist revealed the woman’s incredible cunning and ingenuity. And I shall listen in trepidation to the last; because I have a horrid fear that she will reform, and do something that is not in her own interests-even perhaps be so accommodating as to cast herself into marriage with some bedazzled official of the law. Julia has my best wishes, and I hope she can stick to her own crooked course. But she is the sort of woman who should never have been let loose, even on the radio.
